MSNBC Axes Three Programs, Including ‘The Ed Show’

NRO   "MSNBC’s lineup is going to look different soon — the news(ish) network is cancelling “The Cycle,” “Now With Alex Wagner” and “The Ed Show.” Alex Wagner and “Cycle” host Ari Melber are sticking around in MSNBC in some capacity, but Ed Schultz and “Cycle” hosts Toure, Krystal Ball and Abby Huntsman will be leaving MSNBC.

The latest on the persecution of Melissa's Sweet Cakes


 It's not just cake, it's dessert!
http://sweetcakesweb.com/

 

"We here at Sweet Cakes strongly believe that when a man and woman come together to be joined as one, it is truly one of the most special days of their lives, we feel truely honored when we are chosen to do the cake for your special day.


" 'For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life" John 3:16"

 GoFundMe fundraising site for Sweet Cakes owners goes dark
. . . "More precisely, they would get a "Campaign Not Found" message on the Support Sweet Cakes by Melissa web page.

"A supporter of Aaron and Melissa Klein set up the campaign to help raise money for the couple after an administrative law judge for the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries issued a proposed order recommending they pay $135,000 in damages to a lesbian couple from Portland." . . .


The Blaze reports   . . . " In September, TheBlaze reported that, following intense scrutiny and furor among gay rights advocates that inevitably impacted business, the Kleins were forced to close Sweet Cakes by Melissa. Now, they’re operating out of their home." . . .
"That harassment came in some very eerie forms, too. In September, Melissa said that someone broke into the Sweet Cakes truck, a vehicle the family uses to advance its business. The truck was parked in the Kleins’ driveway.
"This was particularly nerve-wrecking for Melissa and Aaron, as their home is in a highly secluded area — one that is nowhere near where their former shop.
“ 'Somebody came up into our driveway and rummaged through our truck and took stuff out,” she said. “The really strange thing is, they didn’t steal anything, they just made a mess. It kind of was a little creepy.' ” . . .

The following email just came to me from the Kleins :

Hillary's private server emails contained info from 5 intelligence agencies  "Hillary Clinton’s presidential prospects are evaporating as more details emerge on her abuse of classified information and her lies about it.  A McClatchy story published yesterday must have Democratic Party elders and the Obama White House, especially Valerie Jarrett, plotting the most effective way to dump her before she takes down the party in the 2016 election." . . .

John Fund: Hillary Clinton: An Indecisive Hamlet on the Issues?   "Hillary Clinton is known for being politically cautious to a fault. But no one expected the non-answer that she gave at a town-hall meeting in New Hampshire this week when she was asked her stance on building the Keystone XL pipeline.
 “If it’s undecided when I become president, I will answer your question,” Clinton said. “This is President Obama’s decision. I’m not going to second-guess him.” She claimed that because she oversaw the process of analyzing the pipeline while she was secretary of state (the pipeline would begin in Canada) she had to in some way recuse herself from expressing an opinion.
. . . 
"It turns out that Keystone is one of six issues where Hillary has decided to take a Profile in Obfuscation by not taking a position. The others are offshore oil drilling, fracking, trade, repeal of the Obamacare medical-device tax, and big bank regulation. The Washington Post has a hilarious rundown on her non-positions.
" I can’t wait for the first debate between Hillary and her opponents to see if she maintains her absurd distance between the issues and a willingness to state an opinion on them."

According to reports, a lion garnered more media attention in one day than the Planned Parenthood videos had in two weeks.  . . .

Planned Parenthood President Made 39 Visits To Obama’s White House Since 2009


"Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards, head of the taxpayer-subsidized abortion giant currently facing a firestorm for allegedly selling body parts harvested from aborted babies, has made personal visits to the White House 39 times since President Barack Obama took office in 2009, White House records show.

"According to online records on the White House website, Richards first visited the White House on Jan. 20, 2009 — the same day Obama first took office. Since then, Richards has met with Obama alone at least three times and First Lady Michelle Obama at least twice. She also met with president and his wife together another four times." . . .

U.S. intel fears hundreds of secrets leaked in Hillary’s private emails

(Associated Press)

"The U.S. intelligence community is bracing for the possibility that former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s private email account contains hundreds of revelations of classified information from spy agencies and is taking steps to contain any damage to national security, according to documents and interviews Thursday.

"The top lawmakers on the House and Senate intelligence committee have been notified in recent days that the extent of classified information on Mrs. Clinton’s private email server was likely far more extensive than the four emails publicly acknowledged last week as containing some sensitive spy agency secrets." . . .

Never-Before-Seen Photos of WWII Found on Neglected German Camera


"Photographs taken on a German World War Two soldier's camera - which was found by a British war hero - have been put on permanent display close to where they were found in the Netherlands.

"Royal Marine Arthur Thompson, from Herne Bay in Kent, came across the camera on 1 November 1944 during the Allied operation to liberate the Dutch, after it had been left by some hastily departing Germans in a large concrete bunker on the island of Walcheren.

"The roll of film reveals not just German soldiers relaxing and laughing together, but pictures Mr Thompson himself took of British Commandos.

. . . "The bunker was part of the Atlantic Wall - Hitler's defensive system against an expected Allied attack, which stretched all the way from the Spanish border to Scandinavia.

"Mr Thompson was 21, and part of a 47 Royal Marine Commando sortie to the Dutch island in a mission to free up the port of Antwerp and help liberate the Netherlands." . . .

The Truth About Western “Colonialism”

 How the misuse of a term legitimizes the jihadist myth of Western guilt.

 Bruce S. Thornton

 Photo via Front Page Magazine

. . . "The great scholar of Soviet terror, Robert Conquest, noted this linguistic corruption decades ago. Historical terms like “imperialism” and “colonialism,” Conquest wrote, now refer to “a malign force with no program but the subjugation and exploitation of innocent people.” As such, these terms are verbal “mind-blockers and thought-extinguishers,” which serve “mainly to confuse, and of course to replace, the complex and needed process of understanding with the simple and unneeded process of inflammation.” Particularly in the Middle East, “colonialism” has been used to obscure the factual history that accounts for that region’s chronic dysfunctions, and has legitimized policies doomed to fail because they are founded on distortions of that history." . . .

UPDATE: Willing to Give Iran Benefit of Doubt? Consider John Kerry’s Scary Remarks Before Congress! 
. . . " Secretary of State John Kerry said on Capitol Hill that Iran "may" kill Americans or Israelis.

"A member of Congress asked the secretary of state, "Well, do you believe that Iran is the world's foremost sponsor of terrorism?"

" 'Yes," Kerry responded.

" 'And that they will use the conventional weapons made available by the Iran nuclear treaty to kill Americans or Israelis?"

" 'Well, they may," said Kerry. "They may. And we have, as you know, responded to that from 1979 when they took over our embassy forward, we have put sanctions in place specifically because of their support for terror."

"Question for Kerry: Given Iran’s terrorist proclivities, and repeated threats to annihilate the state of Israel, why in the hell has the Administration entered into an Agreement that would send $150 billion in US taxpayer money to Tehran, money that could be used to kill Americans and Israelis and promote terrorism throughout the globe?

 Political Cartoons by Ken Catalino
The real reason why Obama is pushing a bad deal with Iran 
. . . "Liberals were very upset when Mossadegh was overthrown.  Ever since then, liberals have viewed Irans as the hapless victim of an imperialist America.  That's why Jimmy Carter, the worst president America had ever seen until Barack Obama was elected, helped the radical Ayatollah Khomenei take over from the shah.  The shah was evil in Carter's mind because he was an ally of the West.  Khomenei had anti-Western rhetoric, but for good reason, because of our imperialistic meddling.

'"Fast-forward to today.  Obama is only continuing Carter's policy of appeasing the ayatollahs.  He's not being naive.  He knows that Iran is developing nuclear weapons." . . .

The Secret Service and their wards

The First Family Detail: Secret Service Agents Reveal the Hidden Lives of the Presidents
" As in a play, presidents, vice presidents, and presidential candidates perform on stage for the public and the media. What the nation’s leaders are really like and what goes on behind the scenes remains hidden. Secret Service agents have a front row seat on their private lives and those of their wives and children. " . . .
"From observing Vice President Joe Biden’s reckless behavior that jeopardizes the country’s safety, to escorting Bill Clinton’s mistress at Chappaqua, to overhearing First Lady Michelle Obama’s admonitions to the president, to witnessing President Nixon’s friends bring him a nude stripper, to seeing their own agency take risks that could result in an assassination, Secret Service agents know a secret world that Ronald Kessler exposes in breathtaking detail."
 
     Secret Service agents have been dismayed to overhear Michelle Obama push her husband to be more aggressive in attacking Republicans and to side with blacks in racial controversies. . . .
      Because Hillary Clinton is so nasty to agents, being assigned to her protective detail is considered a form of punishment and the worst assignment in the Secret Service.

Q: Does a recent book quote Secret Service agents saying denigrating things about Obama and other recent Democratic presidents while praising only Republicans?
A: No. The book's author, Ronald Kessler, states that a viral e-mail's descriptions of Obama and Clinton "are completely wrong." His book quotes both flattering and unflattering observations about presidents of both parties
 The left does not like anything said against Democrats
They trash the author as the left does so well. 

Much on this subject from Snopes

 Yahoo: . . . "Marc Ambinder, an editor at “This Week” news magazine, wrote a post admonishing Kessler’s book for “weird inaccuracies” that he says “should lead Kessler to question the judgment of some of his own sources.” Asked for a response to Ambinder’s negative review, Kessler rebutted that “every claim that he made was totally wrong.” . . .

 "In the first two parts of Salon’s conversation with Camille Paglia, we covered Bill Cosby and Bill Clinton, the return of the ’90s sensibility, and then the rise of Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump.

"Today Paglia trains her devastating insight and wit on the rest of the GOP field — look out Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush. She also has some surprising thoughts on why Hillary Clinton will not be the Democratic nominee — and why it would be unwise for Democrats to overlook the appeal of Scott Walker."

 "Ted Cruz gives me the willies": Camille Paglia analyzes the GOP field -- and takes on Hillary Clinton

. . . "Young feminists are asking why there hasn’t been a woman president and automatically blaming it on male sexism.  But there are plenty of women Democratic politicians who are too scared to put themselves forward as candidates because of the Clinton machine. There’s something seriously wrong here with Democratic thinking. You either believe in the country, you believe in your party, or you don’t!
"Given the problems facing the nation, this passive waiting for your turn is simply unacceptable.  The Democrats have plenty of solid, capable women politicians who are just too timid to challenge the party establishment.  Well, excuse me, that proves they don’t deserve to be president!  You sure won’t be able to deal with ISIS if you can’t deal with Debbie Wasserman Schultz! " . . .
...

"Exactly how have the teachers unions improved the quality of education in our big cities?  Look at the dilapidated public schools in Philadelphia or in many other cities run by Democrats.  The rigid and antiquated seniority system imposed by the teachers unions has been a disaster–”last hired, first fired.”  So many young and vital teachers have been terminated during budget cuts–the entire future of the profession.  The unions value seniority over quality, and it’s inner-city children who have paid the price.

"In my opinion, Scott Walker still lacks seasoning, presidential temper, and a working knowledge of international affairs.  But if Democrats try to use the union issue to take him down, they’re simply empowering him–and we’re going to end up with President Walker."

Megyn Kelly Versus Daily Beast Reporter On Trump Spousal 'Rape' Article

 Fox


"TIM MAK, "THE DAILY BEAST" REPORTER: Well, I think it's relevant because Donald Trump introduced his presidential campaign by making these accusations against Mexican immigrants saying many of the people who cross the border were rapists. I think it's worth looking at whether or not there have been any accusations or allegations made in the past about him on that matter."
. . .
" MAK: Well, look, like you mentioned, Donald Trump is the republican front- runner. He deserves to be looked at. His history should be looked at. And I think what's important here is that Ivana Trump did make these statements about an incident in 1989. And she acknowledged them again in a book that was published in 1993. We're simply looking at those facts. And I think with his presidential campaign, there's new relevance to them." . . .
